Taste Test: The Best Pancake and Waffle Mixes

Our volunteers tested 14 different mixes — both buttermilk and whole grain — to find the best box for your weekend breakfast.

Runner-Up Pick: Pioneer Original Buttermilk Mix

While not the winner of our buttermilk category, tasters were struck by this mix’s “extra crispy exterior.” Tasters were not as impressed by the center of the pancake, which they found “floury," “slightly soggy,” and “pita bread-like.” If you’re more interested in waffles, however, the thinner consistency of this batter made for picture-perfect waffles. ($3 for 40 oz.)
